Quentin Tarantino Is No Longer Making ‘The Movie Critic’ as His Final Film

The Big Picture The much-anticipated The Movie Critic will not be Quentin Tarantino's tenth and final film. Don't get too excited, though - the writer-director hasn't reneged on his vow to give up movie-making after ten movies. He's simply decided not to make The Movie Critic at all. Deadline reports that Tarantino has changed his mind about making the film, which was slated to star Brad Pitt.

Production had already been delayed by Tarantino's decision to rewrite the script, even as Sony prepared to distribute the film, just as they had for his last film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. However, Tarantino apparently could not shape the script to his liking. This leaves what will be Tarantino's cinematic swan song a mystery once more.

What Was 'The Movie Critic' Going To Be About? Close Information on the project, which will now proceed into the mists of myth and legend with Alejandro Jodorowsky's Dune, Stanley Kubrick's Napoleon, and Guillermo del Toro's At the Mountains of Madness, has been scarce. According to Tarantino, the movie critic of the title would have been based on "a guy who really lived but was never really famous, and he used to write movie reviews for a porno rag".

Of course, Tarantino has abandoned movies before, only to return to them. After announcing The Hateful Eight in 2013, the script for the snowbound Western leaked, and Tarantino canceled the project. However, after reconsidering, Tarantino changed his mind, and the film was ultimately released in 2015 to critical acclaim and a box office topping $156 million USD.

Quentin Tarantino has decided not to make The Movie Critic; what his final project will be remains a mystery. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
